Gina Holman

Gina Holman serves as Chief of the R&D Acquisition Division, where she leads the strategic planning and execution of professional services acquisitions to support innovation and technical advancement across federal research initiatives. In this role, she oversees the full lifecycle of procurement activities—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and performance management—ensuring alignment with agency mission objectives and federal acquisition regulations. Her portfolio is centered on high-complexity, knowledge-driven contracts requiring specialized expertise in human capital strategy, organizational development, and scientific technical support. Holman cultivates collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of professional services providers, including consulting firms, research organizations, and technical service contractors. While no single contractor dominates her award profile, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated capabilities in human resources systems design, workforce analytics, and applied scientific research. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and vendor accountability, fostering a transparent and results-oriented contracting environment. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a deliberate focus on selecting the most qualified offerors based on technical merit and past performance, rather than socioeconomic designations. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains fully compliant with all small business goals and encourages participation through open competition. Holman’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541612 (Human Resources Consulting Services), where she acquires services related to talent management, organizational change, and workforce modernization. She also frequently procures under NAICS 541990 for specialized technical and scientific support, including research methodology, data analysis, and policy advisory services. Her domain expertise centers on optimizing human capital systems to enhance research productivity and institutional effectiveness.
